Introduction
The January 2026 Monthly Asia Chart Pack is available exclusively to Sparta Knowledge subscribers.
Built around the charts that matter, this edition delivers a concise visual read on the forces currently shaping Asia’s oil markets. This month’s pack focuses on the evolving oil glut narrative, market uncertainty driven by shifting geopolitical control in Venezuela, and China’s 2026 crude import quotas—pointing to tighter state oversight of independent refiners.
As long as there are enough sanctioned barrels to be placed amongst the typical buyers, then the legit markets will not feel any pressure compared to back in October.
